Why do you need to adjust the boost?

Hmm.. Thats a pain, I was just wondering because I asked the tuning shop where everything was put in to turn it up and they gave me the lamest excuse... Saying I dont have a K04 so they couldnt turn up the boost.. When I do have a K04 and even if it was a K03 you could crank it up as high as your willing to risk it

You would have to have Dahlback re flash your ecu. Or modify the boost signal to your N75 with a modshack boost machine or MBC.

You can read about the boost machine here http://www.modshack.info/BM.htm in my opinion drive ability with an MBC sucks.

Who put in the k04?

I mean, if you installed it, how could they argue? just get an MBC.

No im sure, My mechanic put it in when my K03 went. I paid for it and he told me so, and ever since Ive noticed the turbo spooling is much more audible..
